II - ZONING CHANGE REQUESTS
1. Z-57-21 PEDERSEN DAIRY on Highway 18 near 169.
Petition from Pedersen Dairy, requesting a hearing before the Council for the
rezoning of a 3 acre tract, on which the present buildings now stand, was re-
ceived. Josiah Brill, Attorney representing Pedersen Dairy, stated that
Pedersen is only asking to have rezoned to commercial the 3 acres on which the
house, barn and garage are located, and not the entire 70 acres which they own.
Mr. Brill said that he felt this should be granted, inasmuch as a mistake had
been made at the time the permit was granted, both on the part of Mr. Pedersen
and the Building Inspector who issued the permit.
Mr. Hasselquist stated that in December, 1957, the question came before the
Planning Commission and it was brought out that a mistake had been made in
granting the permit and that since then he had been working on a restrictive
covenant, recognizing the illegal use, but not binding the Village to condone
It*
Mr. Brill stated that the attached petition was signed by most of the residents
In the area, who had no objection to the present and proposed operation* He
said they were now req«esting permission to add a building which would cost
approximately $199,000 and which would merely make their present business easier
to handle. He showed a sketch of the present buildings and plantings which
would screen the buildings completely from the side and rear.
Mr. Hyde suggested that there be a limit to the retail products sold at the
plant.
After a lengthy discussion, motion was made by Wilkinson, seconded and carried,
to accept the petition for the 3 acre tract, measuring approximately 300 feet
deep and 500 feet along County Road 18, and recommend that it be rezoned to
commercial, subject to deed restrictions, to the effect that petitioners will
not sell any products on the premises not originating from the dairy operation
an the site, and that there will be no enlargement of the buildings beyond that
requested in the petition, and that the owners agree that if the business is
sold, or ceases to operate, no other use except dairy pasteurizing, as now
carried on, will be requested or be allowed, and that no additional area now
owned by Albert Pedersen or by his son, Earl Pedersen, will be zoned other
than residential, as it is now presently zoned. Also, that the petitioner
will complete, to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission, the proposed
landscaping improvements shown on the attached sketch.
Attorney Hasselquist and Attorney for the petitioner Brill, were asked to get
together to draft such a resolution, or restrictive covenant, and return with
this agreement to a future meeting of the Planning Commission.

thought it would be a big improvement over the present structure. After further
